Closet Guy. Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Here's the deal. I think i know of a benefit thief. Someone who claims they cannot work due to physical and social reasons but prove regularly that they can. I have proof of them refusing work offers (4 that i know of) and then claiming they are being discriminated against. The stuff this person says and the lies they tell drives me to distraction and i honestly feel they are putting off genuine people from trying to gain employment with the lies they tell and the excuses they give for not being "able to work". I know this persons address as he/she lives quite close and i know where he/she drinks (i see him/her regularly displaying none of the disabilities they claim makes their quality of life so poor) but what other information would i need to make a report or would a name address and where they socialize be enough? Im reluctant to go down the reporting route but i feel i have no choice. This person needs bringing to account and if found guilty needs punishing for this abuse of the system. Thanks for any advice on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mummytwo Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Personally I would report them IF they are commiting benefit fraud. However it's probably best to tell DWP or whoever of your suspicions and they may check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closet Guy. Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 No im not but then i wouldn't need to be to know this person is possibly fiddling the system really. He/she makes it so obvious that im surprised they haven't been reported before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spider1 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Yes shop them .But beware if there is a court case you will probably have to go to court as a witness and your name and adress will become known to everybody. You will then be known in your area as a grass . I am sure you you are of strong princables and to be true to yourself you must report them . Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms Macbeth Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I live in an area where being labelled a grass in not a good thing so now im worried I'm not suggesting you report or not, that is up to you, but no-one would need to know if you did. This is what it says on the Crimestoppers website: If you have information about suspected benefit fraud please call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or use our secure Giving Information Form. http://www.crimestoppers-uk.org/fraud/types-of-fraud/benefit-fraud/benefit-fraud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
